I updated all the flashable items that were provided on the CD. Unfortunately what is on the CD is the same as what is already on the box and what is (looking at everyone's BIOS revs) apparently on everyone's box. I haven't tried Windows 2003. Maybe I'll give it a shot over the weekend...

Also, per the server manual, there is an IDE connector on board, but it seems IDE cable doesn't fit it The IDE connector which comes to the front of the chassis is for a laptop CD/DVD drive, which I mounted in the chassis and connected to the IDE connector. If you need a full-size IDE...

Well, Windows 2008 Server is being very problematic, at least in my first attempt. I don't have an internal slim DVD drive so I tried my external LG USB DVD drive. It does fire up and does load the Windows installer, though very slowly. It partitions and formats the drive, asks for the CD key...

Just wanted to follow up in case anyone else comes across this issue... I bought the cheapest USB keyboard on Tiger Direct. No multimedia or Internet controls or anything. Just a plain black USB keyboard... I think it was $9 at the most and it worked fine on this machine. I was able to...

Hi, I just bought one of these Celestica IYA210 monoliths offa ebay. It's the loudest, most obnoxiously difficult 1U box to work with ever :) So far I've tried 3 different USB keyboards but all of them invariably hang the box as soon as it gets into the EFI screens. Without a USB keyboard...
